GREENBEARD To GREYBEARD | DRG Tips and Tricks! 

I’m curious, does it take away from the minerals mined credits at the end of the mission? That’s usually why I don’t do that

4:25 nevermind he covered this

Unless you're in a Deep Dive. You need it more than Karl. Much more.

@@TastelessCub797 Unless you're already topped off, in which case, leave behind what you've already called. And at the end of the third stage, call everything. You're already done at this point.

​@@ikeadump3265Narp! 😊

True I should have mentioned the secondary objective part for sure

AFAIK Nitra also needs to be deposited to count towards mineral xp

For Karl! He would approve!

the other exception is in deep dives, where it will remain in your inventory between segments. this really doesn't matter all too much, as you don't lose the minerals, its just good to know

Found this out the hard way. 14/15 apoca blooms. 14/15 apoca blooms.

Hit the ground harder!!

BROOOO

Also, if you spray the foam on a lithophage outbreak Bosco will begin vacuuming it for you.

You dont understand how many hours I would have saved if I knew that bosco could build the pipes

@@nitl3gxnd268 think of all the hours you'll now save

​@nitl3gxnd268 when in doubt, send Bosco out. Especially on buried materials. Either he will start digging or he will cast a light. As a newer player it's hard to tell if there's buried treasures like Enor Pearls

Very useful tip, thank you.

Agreed!

Yep, coming back every year for a couple of months =)

@@TrueGector just played it yesterday after a few months without. I really missed playing that game man

Yes that’s a great tip! I mention that one in my advanced tips guide!

@@brandinorules Oh! XD Was about to watch that too just now XD

@Envy_the_Darksider lol lmk if you come up with any other that you think I missed! Maybe a 3rd tips video can be made if I collect enough ideas

Make sure to build the platforms when phase 2 starts, otherwise they get destroyed by the phase change explosion.

one more thing about dotty: at 4th phase you don't actually need to destroy the whole laser-shooting crystal, just its firing tip, just like you don't need to destroy a whole radiactive crystal, just its core and you can also do it with terrain-destructive weapons (Lead Storm minigun, Thunderhead autocannon, Hurricane rocket system, Bulldog revolver, ArmsKore coilgun, sticky grenade, cluster grenade, Deepcore grenade launcher, Experimental Plasma Charger with Thin Containment Unit mod or a satchel charge)

Also one of the many mistake I saw engineers made during the phase 2 of ommoran, is placing the platform too low, the rocks have aoe damage, so if the platform is too low, doretta will get damaged by the aoe. Also periodically patch the holes made by the rocks in the platform

If you're going to go Engie on rival operations, you might as well just take the Fatboy OC and take out the Caretaker's defenses super fast

You can stand on the side of doretta and repair her when the rocks drop. (works (real)). In any case, make sure you're not on top of doretta during the second phase, no matter if you're confident that you can destroy all the rocks. it might suddenly turn out that your teammate that just ran out of ammo did more damage than you expected, and you're getting stoned. Or your weapon overheats, you're out of ammo, frozen, whatever. I don't remember a mission where nobody died on top of her during phase 2, lol. When a driller goes above the caretaker, i think it's the only instance in the co-op nature of deep rock where it's appropriate to have a player get a resupply pod all for himself up there. The sheer speed with which the C4 takes down all 4 weakspots is just worth it. You just have to be careful to not have the appendages tear a hole below the resup. When it falls, it slides through the caretaker all the way down to the bottom of it's model, making it almost unretrievable.

Lootbugs work to I think

Whenever the twins are in their invulnerable phase I always jump on their backs. It def works and I always jump on dreads even in haz5. Im not sure if I ever jumped on a bulk detonator though, (they usually target you if you get to close) I will keep that one in mind

Have ridden several Hiveguards like a bouncy castle, though haven't tried sticking the landing on one!

If you're close enough to jump on a bulk you're already down from the shockwave attack.

nice profile pic

@@kozukitonio740 thank you, fellow bloodborne enjoyer ;)

As someone who mostly plays scout without an engi - this can be a real pain in the ass, but fortunately, there are a few things that can help out yourself: special powder for the shotgun hoverboots perk hoverboots boots using powerattack to attach yourself to the wall (this usually works fine unless I have to get up to a ceiling mineral, which is a pain in the ass)

Special powder OC op

@@AWZoolIf you have the m1000 Hoverclock overclock, which is free use anytime by charging a shot before hitting the ground. Switch weapon to not waste the ammo. Also, you can often stand on the edge of nitra outcrops, allowing you to mine into the cliffside and calmly mine it all. Or atleast ahve footing until your grapple gun is recharged.

Yes! Sometimes a dwarf just wants to stroll in caves "mining his buisness" without too many bugs.

Good luck. That's how you get people who say "Chill, it's only Haz3". when they dig out three eggs, each starting a swarm.

I randomly found this while playing scout and it's very useful, as it saved me many times.

casually if a whole team is down in one spot, player1 can use iron will, revive player2 and get red sugar/resup player2 then revives player3 without taking any damage, and player3 can revive the last downed dwarf

There are so few malicious actions ( rather than mistakes or lack of skill ) by players in DRG, if you come across one, just assume the player is having a bad day, don't take it personally, and remain polite. Maby someone was just trying to pull a prank in a low-risk moment, too. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but rock and stone brings the best out of people.

That was my question thanks

solid tip

You 100% accidentally entered a haz 5 before

I figured s4 would bring a lot of green miners so I should help em out

Nice! try it out its a blast

it also gives you a notable speed boost on the pipe!

The other day I started a haz 4 dreadnought solo and was joined 7 minutes in by two greenbeards. After literally two minutes of being in the game one of them called in a resupply and they BOTH double dipped, leaving me with no ammo. I just aborted the mission.

@@screwyouguysimgoinghooome8479 wrong. you should've called another resupply, taken all the slices, team kill both of them, revive and kill again then aborted the mission

​@@screwyouguysimgoinghooome8479you should learn those greenbeards on what they did wrong.

I had the same experience when I started! Thank you for sharing its stuff like this that makes me love this game! Check out my early game progression guide if you want some starter tips

Good tip I just figured out how to do that like a week ago! Thanks! Rock n stone to da bone!

it looks pretty stupid, but it is very efficient.

Did i hear a Rock And Stone?

i guess there are different ways to do it. Using the pickaxe works as well, so does scrolling through your weapons with the mosuewheel.

Rock n stone

True you can also manage to get it to work with a power attack right as you hit the ground but it’s not consistent so I didn’t mention that

I don’t think so lol

Thank you :)

yes, this is the biggest dwarf etiquette tip that EVERYONE needs to know. it's very rude to call buttons unprompted, but i don't blame a new player if they do. they probably just don't know that yet. so if they do, just politely explain to them that some people don't like that.

This is the shit that passes me off most. I constantly get greenbeards who don't communicate nor do they ready check nor do they read chat. I have literally said "don't start x" as the host and they went and started it Massive pet peeve of mine.

Does it have to be the host? I’ve always thought that anyone can press button/start event as long as everyone has agreed

@@BiggieBows1752 It doesn't have to be; it's just polite to let the host handle it.

​@@BiggieBows1752if in doubt, just ping it till the host does it

I included that in my follow up to this video! It’s very nice when people do it!

@@brandinorules nice, just started watching that (in fact, went back to edit my comment because you mentioned it :))

Check out the advanced tips version too it’s even better!

Yeah it’s crazy I can’t believe how many people are watching!

Only big ones* Generally not modt in numbers haha

Lootbug is unfortunately not an enemy. Learned that the hard way

epically those dwarves that are playing with high ping!

Thanks :) rock n stone!

Ooh I didn’t know they were adding a new one what does it do?

It now has an increased min recharge time that rivals the old 2x slayer stout bug. And slayer stout still exists in the game for basically constant berserk during a mission.

Wait WHAT, where can i read something about it? Steam page or discord server?

If you have access just update to the new beta build for season 4 and put the upgrades in yourself. I will clarify it’s not as powerful as the slayer stout one used to be but it’s at least available every mission consistently now AND slayer stout can still make it more powerful.

Big quality of life feature lol!

Glad to help!

Thank you I just hit it within the hour!! Thanks to everybody for the support! Rock n stone!

@@brandinorules It was 996 when I started watching the vid c:

It was likely the "grabbing the edge of the pit" mechanic.

Advanced tips video just posted! Karl would be proud

Lootbugs actually give a 1.5x multiplier to all gold and nitra eaten, so let em feast if you're the lootbug murderin type

Let them eat it, then kill them. Bonus ore never hurt.

Same on playstation.

If you’re on pc I recommend the brighter objects mod! It will make the secondary objectives glow pretty bright so they are easier to spot! The beer currency is called a barley bulb and there is usually one or two per mission to be found. They look like littler red lightbulbs on a stick! Rock n stone!

And conversely, if crazy stuff is going on, don't expect to get revived instantly, be patient.

Interesting I’ll test that out
